Silversmith Darren Rice makes Celtic-inspired jewellery at his workshop in rural Perthshire. Nestled in the hills near Balquhidder, Darren's workshop at Immeroin is a beautiful old stone building with space for two people at a time to make their own silver rings in a half-day workshop. The workshop at Immeroin Farm is in a quiet, rural location. I was fortunate enough to be the only person at my ring-making workshop so I had Darren's undivided attention....

Walking with goats… a lovely - and different - way to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the Three Lochs Forest Drive in the company of Achray Farm goats. We were thrilled to be first to try this out, learning about the goats, their likes and dislikes, and chatting to Nicola and Angie about looking after them. These cheeky characters (the 4-legged ones 😉) were entertaining company and topping off the walk with a goats’ milk ice cream or fruit sorbet back at the farm was the perfect ending to the experience.

Another exciting development! I’m very much looking forward to taking the new bus to Trossachs Pier to check out the new tower and enjoy the view. 😊

Later this month, you can experience this incredible view, credited as the 'Birthplace of Scottish Tourism'. We are building a scenic tower with linking viewpoints to allow you to enjoy the historic view that inspired Sir Walter Scott to write 'The Lady of the Lake'. Once published in 1810, people flocked to Loch Katrine to see the landscapes described so vividly by Scott. We will let you know as soon as the path and tower are open to the public.

A new bus service started today making it possible to visit Ben A’an, Trossachs Pier, Ben Venue, Callander or Aberfoyle from Brig o’ Turk all without taking a car. We’re looking forward to trying it out!

All aboard...the Trossachs Explorer!

Our staff, local businesses, Board and Youth Committee members gathered at Loch Katrine today to celebrate a new pilot shuttlebus service.

Running 7 days a week from 1st July until 30th September, this service will provide a car free alternative for visitors and residents to explore the Trossachs, and under 22's and over 60's will travel free with a National Entitlement Card!
